Wikipedia article


A giant dragon-like monster with seven biting heads.

A hydra has the ability to destroy buildings. It seems that it neither destroys nor avoids traps, and can be eliminated just by having about 50 stone-fall traps in its way, or one simple cage trap. When a hydra appears, the game pauses just as it does when a forgotten beast appears.

[edit] Combat

Hydras are dangerous for several reasons including their massive size, inhuman strength and propensity for biting people in half. The main difficulty in killing a hydra lays in its many heads; like the Giant cave spider, Hydra's have the annoying habit of protecting their vital bits using walls of redundant flesh, their 6 superfluous necks in this case. This means that there is a very good chance that you'll be impotently hacking away at one head while another shakes you around by the bloody sieve that used to be your torso. The best thing to do is to set your combat preferences to "dodge" and attempt to break any bite the Hydra manages to get into you. Step forward, slice/bash and step back, attempting to sever heads or otherwise cause massive bleeding; after that it's a simple waiting game.
